He loved spending time with his cats at home and with the Love of his Life Linda Lang, they have a Love that will last Forever! Side by side for 25 years, there wasn't a day that went by where Linda wasn't his first, last and only priority. In the early days he found himself getting into mischief with his brother James. Enjoying their family cabins on Long Lake was one of their many cherished childhood memories. They would enjoy fishing, catching fireflies and all of the things young boys will do. Later in life he loved the days and nights spent sitting outside with his neighbors and reminiscing about the good old days. Often times you would find him bragging about his three children whom were his Proudest Accomplishments.

There will be a Memorial Service including Military Honors at the Idaho State Veteran Cemetary to be announced at a later date followed by a Celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be sent in Joes Honor to (DAV) Disabled American Veterans or the Tunnel to Towers
